NC State has unfortunately had a number of league games slip through its fingers thanks to shoddy bullpen work, and Sunday provided just the latest example.
Chris Villaman entered in the eighth inning of game two this afternoon with the Wolfpack hanging on to a one-run lead, and while that’s exactly how Elliott Avent would like to finish a game like that, it did not work out, as Villaman allowed a go-ahead two-run shot. That squandered the lead, and the game.
Villaman also allowed the go-ahead run in the ninth on Saturday, which propelled UNC to an 8-7 win.
